[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need a reason to switch nannies. You don’t click with the nanny and that is reason enough. You question whether the nanny is prioritizing your children or her errands, that is reason enough. For the above, I would give her the severance stated in your contract and not have her come back. I would also get to the bottom of what actually happened by contacting the school, which you can do when you pick your child up today, as I assume the nanny won’t be doing it! If she indeed lied or left your baby in the care of a stranger (or worse, alone in the car) she is fired for cause without severance. [/quote]

+1 Our 4 year old will say things like "nanny didn't give me any lunch", which I don't have to do anything about except roll my eyes because I KNOW our nanny would never not give her lunch. If you are at the point of believing your preschooler over your nanny without doing your due diligence with the schools to find out what really happened, you probably need a new nanny regardless of whether she did what you've accused her of.

This!

I had a day off.  The person who covered for me allowed my 5yo charge to take just fruit snack, goldfish and popcorn for lunch.  Nothing else.  Teachers asked where the rest of his lunch was, he said I wouldn’t allow him anything else.  Since they know how adamant I am that he has vegetable, fruit and protein available everyday (whether he eats it or not is up to him), they figured it was something else.  Teachers reached out to the parent with story and suspicions, parent cleared it up quickly by explaining that I wasn’t working.  There’s no way that anyone would take that story as truth, because they know and trust me.  They wouldn’t believe I’d endanger or hurt a child either.

If you do think your nanny left your baby in the car, please fire her.  You have to be able to trust her![/quote]
